SHELTON City educators are breathing a sigh of relief after word from Gov. Ned Lamont’s office that school staff and professional childcare workers will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine next month.
The news of educators’ ability to be vaccinated beginning in March was part of Lamont’s new schedule, released Monday, for age-based eligibility for the next several months.
“This is news that we have been waiting to hear,” said Deb Keller, Perry Hill School music teacher and head of the city’s teachers’ union. “Although Shelton has been very fortunate that the schools have not been a primary source for spreading COVID, we will all feel much safer with the protection the vaccine will offer us.”

FAIRFIELD TWP. A disagreement between members of the Fairfield Township Fire Department, the new township supervisor and some members of the township board this week has led to a mass resignation of firefighters.
At least 6 firefighters, including the chief, have resigned.
To answer questions swirling in the community, a special online board meeting was held Saturday morning to discuss the changes to how emergency calls in the township will be handled.
Fairfield Township Supervisor Chris McCallister, who was appointed at a special meeting Feb. 1 to fill the seat left vacant by the death of former Supervisor Larry Keck, told the approximately 34 attendees that the fire department is still intact and the residents are fully covered.
EASTON â At 2:35 a.m. on Dec. 28, three trespassers pulled up outside Qlarantâs office building in a four-door pickup truck. They planned to steal the companyâs 18-foot inflatable Frosty the Snowman, a beloved Christmas decoration in Easton for the past four years.
The Chevy Crew cab-truck swung by the building once, rumbling down Brooks Drive, then circled back from Marlboro Avenue. Two adult male passengers clambered out, and the vehicle drove off down the road.
The thieves quickly got to work. After uprooting multiple stakes that anchored the deflated snowman to the ground, they pulled the extension cord and an electric fan all the way to the street as their ride whipped back around one final time.
